"Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world." ~ John Muir 'Lonesome Pine' Sunset (Hubbard Lake) _______________________ White Pines ' Pinus Strobus ' (Michigan State Tree) _________ "It is well that you should celebrate your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for within your lifetime the nation's need of trees will become serious. We of an older generation can get along with what we have, though with growing hardship; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want what nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtlessly destroyed; and because of that want you will reproach us, not for what we have used, but for what we have wasted." ~ Theodore Roosevelt ( 1907 Arbor Day Message)
